  When I was a true blue diehard witness,I was convinced the clergy of christendom new they were teaching lies,falsehoods about the bible just to keep people in line.

  Guess what.

  I dont see any difference in the attitude of the governing body, the elders, or the faithfull & discreet slave class (if it`s not just an arrangement ) or the WTB&TS lying,stretching the truth ,telling half truths, manipulating ideas,withholding vital information,or downright giving out mis-information as a theocratic war strategy,all with the intention of promoting their biased opinion/interpretation

  I agree completely Smiddy, I cannot see any difference, apart from the self-delusion is more rampant amongst the JW's, hell, even the GB may half believe their own B.S, they have ben raised to do so.

  Usually the seminary educated Priests and Ministers etc of Christendom are well aware that the Bible is not inerrant or "truth" in any great measure, but they use the bible stories etc as metaphors to teach people how to live, as do the jewish Rabbis.

  I can see no distinction in principle between any religion, they are all made by men for the benefit of men are they not ?

  Indeed Smiddy! Very different exterior but same engine under the hood, although WBT$ takes religion to the max. The WBT$ is a grossly exaggerated caricature of anti-gospel supremacist self-righteousness attained by the pursuit of supposedly "right" rules (legalism), morals (moralism), doctrines (ethnocentrism) and knowledge (Gnosticism) instead of relationship. Whitewashed graves, cleaning the outside of the cup, gnat straining, camel gulping and more...
